Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 3rd Season Episode 7 Discussion

An extended episode lessgoooo
that speech was amazing
it really shows how much subaru has grown as a person

Some LN Extra Details (Volume 18 Chapter 2.5-3 & 4.7-4.8 )
- Something about Al reminds Emilia of Subaru after the call is done
- Al complained that he prioritized carrying Emilia's message over looking for Priscilla
- Subaru realized Al's behavior is very unusual lately, probably because of the emotion amplification by Wrath Authority
- After Garfiel grabbed Al, he casted doubt on Garfiel on why he kept calling Subaru `Chief/General` without knowing it's worth and if he really knows why is he calling him that
- Subaru calmed Garfiel that he didn't mind being called that and was used to it.
- Anastasia noted that Subaru is totally off the speech script after the beginning part.
- Anastasia also joked if Subaru was a con artist before he became a knight, seeming on how he perfectly bring people to spirit despite being off-script

Differences from LN
- Emilia's moment with Al is described as flashback
- Fred (Garfiel's lil bro) is sleeping before the speech starts
- When Otto shows up, he wants to high five Garfiel, but ended up being bearhugged by him strongly that Otto is writhing in pain.

@TheUnwiseWolf It did raise the stakes. Are you stupid? He has given a heroic speech, now he has to shoulder all those expectations from the people in Priestella. Did you not listen to what Al said? Go watch a shonen, lil boy

Except he has Return by Death, so unless a new save point were to be created after an event that prevents him from meeting those expectations, failing to do so is of no consequence beyond his physical suffering (which hasn't been meaningful since the first season).

@Qalico you most likely didn’t pay attention to s2 and it shows. After seeing those alternate timelines where his close ones had to suffer after him selfishly dying + his promise to Satella to love himself, he vowed to not abuse RBD. This is good since it prevents him from losing his humanity like Roswaal did. Reinhard is also with him, so it looks like from now on, and during this arc, he will not RBD.

@BlatantKid I'm not talking about him abusing RBD, I'm talking about him dying as a result of attempting to save everyone.

The expectations placed upon him aren't meaningful if the consequence for failing to meet said expectations is death, because death isn't meaningful due to RBD. The only way those expectations become meaningful is if they're allowed to falter and not be undone by RBD, or he is put in a position where he's straight-up incapable of meeting those expectations.

Episode ini adalah yang terbaik, re zero adalah yang terbaik, pidato subaru sangat tampan dan memberi harapan, dan aku sangat menyukai empati antara emilia dan subaru. Re zero yang terbaik 🧡🤍
